World renowned for its award winning beaches, beautiful harbour, sailing and the pottery that bears the name of the town, Poole is fast becoming known as the St Tropez of the south coast. Lying between the New Forest and the Purbeck Hills, the harbour enjoys five unique islands, fabulous scenery, wonderful wildlife and exhilarating watersports.

With five kilometres of safe, clean, sandy beaches including the world famous Sandbanks, winner of fourteen European Blue Flags, Poole is the ideal place to relax in luxurious surroundings.
